Goldman Sachs Analyzes Nvidia’s ’Circular Revenue’ Dynamics Amid AI Funding Boom
Nvidia's strategic investments in AI startups like OpenAI are drawing scrutiny as analysts debate whether GPU sales to these companies create self-reinforcing revenue cycles. Goldman Sachs estimates OpenAI may require $75 billion in financing by 2026 to build infrastructure relying heavily on Nvidia chips, with Oracle's recent $18 billion debt raise signaling strong market appetite.
The analysis comes as AMD secures a competing deal with ChatGPT Maker OpenAI, potentially diluting Nvidia's early-mover advantage. Market focus now shifts to whether these capital-intensive AI ventures can convert infrastructure spending into profitable operations before funding conditions tighten.
